Listeria ivanovii is a species of bacteria in the genus Listeria. The listeria are rod-shaped bacteria, do not produce spores, and become positively stained when subjected to Gram staining.[1] Of the six bacteria species within the genus, L. ivanovii is one of the two pathogenic species (the other being L. monocytogenes).[2] In 1955 Bulgaria, the first known isolation of this species was found from sheep.[3] It behaves like L. monocytogenes, but is found almost exclusively in ruminants (mainly sheep).[4] The species is named in honor of Bulgarian microbiologist Ivan Ivanov.[5] This species is facultatively anaerobic, which makes it possible for it to go through fermentation when there is oxygen depletion.[6]
